Felton suddenly rang up from overseas.
Tammy answered, "Felton, is that you?"
A pleasant young voice came over the phone, "If it's not me, who could it be? What, you didn't save my number?"
"I did." Tammy chirped, "Just wasn't sure, wanted to confirm it with you.""Confirm what?"
"Confirm if it's really you. Felton, you do realize how long it's been since we last talked, right?"
Felton paused for a moment, "Yeah, I've been busy with stuff after moving abroad."
"All done now?"
"More or less."
"Let me guess, you didn't call me just because you were bored and wanted to chat, right?"
Felton kept silent for a few seconds, his clean and pleasant voice carrying some indistinct emotions, "Did my brother get engaged to Nikita?"
This time, it was Tammy who fell silent.
It was common knowledge that Felton had a thing for Nikita.
A big part of Felton's decision to study abroad was related to Nikita. He didn't want to see his brother and Nikita all lovey-dovey, so he chose to leave, out of sight, out of mind.
Someone who chose to run away from his feelings by going abroad was now bringing up Nikita.
Tammy thought he might have been triggered, and after a moment of silence, she hesitated about how to comfort him, "You saw Sheehan's announcement, didn't you? They've been together for a while now. You should have been prepared for this."
It's only an engagement now.
They're going to get married and have kids in the future.
If Felton couldn't handle this, was he going to stay abroad forever?
"Yeah, I saw it." Felton's voice didn't reveal any emotions, steady as ever, "Give me Nikita's contact information, I want to chat with her a bit."
Tammy widened her eyes, "Felton, you're not a kid anymore, you..."
